Picture this: you uproot your glamorous American life, pack up your iconic dance moves, and move across the pond to a charming English farmhouse. Sounds dreamy, right? Well, that’s exactly what Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, did. Until rumors began swirling that their picturesque Cotswolds getaway was less Downton Abbey and more Titanic.
Yes, word on the cobblestone streets was that Ellen’s new UK digs got an unwanted River Thames makeover, complete with soggy carpets and maybe even a floating ottoman. But Ellen wasn’t about to let her cozy countryside vibes be waterlogged—literally or figuratively.
The former daytime TV queen addressed the floodgate of rumors with her signature humor tucked into a heartfelt Instagram post celebrating her anniversary with Portia. Amid the mushy lovefest about exploring the world together and planning for a snowy Christmas (awww), Ellen threw in the ultimate mic drop:
“P.S. for those of you concerned, our UK farmhouse did NOT flood.”
Translation: Relax, everyone. The only thing wet in the Cotswolds is probably the tea they’re sipping by the fireplace.
No soggy sofas, no ruined rugs, and certainly no Ellen kayaking to the kitchen. Just two lovebirds settling into their British adventure, dry as a crumpet.
